d Thompson, the television president and part-time sleazeball, is jumping into the race. This definitely has the potential to seriously upset race dynamics. It’s unclear at this point just how much momentum Thompson’s got because his team has done a great job at this roll-out and the media has been all too complicit due to boredom with the current GOP field. In a month we’ll have a clearer idea of just where to place him in the horserace- but for now:
Horserace Update: 1) John McCain 2) Rudy Giuliani 3) Fred Thompson 4) Mitt Romney
I’m keeping McCain on top, for now, as the field reshuffles and settles with Thompson getting in. This is definitely subject to change dramatically over the next month. And Romney automatically gets leapfrogged because nothing other than fund-raising and a solid organization convinces me he’s a real contender- he’s outside of the mainstream of his party, he’s been caught in a number of lies and fabrications, he’s northeastern, and on, and on.
